What is bit depth

• Bit depth refers to the color information stored
  in an image. The higher the bit depth of an
  image, the more colors it can store. The simplest
  image, a 1 bit image, can only show two colors,
  black and white.

What is Color depth

• Alternatively referred to as pixel depth, color
  depth refers to the number of bits per pixel on a
  computer monitor to represent a specific color.
  The more bits per pixel, the higher color variety
  and quality of the monitor. The first graphics
  cards and monitors supported 1-bit color, which
  was monochrome (most commonly black and white),
  for early computers like the Apple Macintosh and
  Atari ST.
• Today, most computers support at least 32-bit
  color, which allows for up to 16.7 million
  colors. Windows 7 introduced support for 48-bit
  color, assuming the computer's video card
  supports this color depth.

Definition of 24-bit color. Using three bytes
per pixel in a display system (eight bits for
each red, green and blue subpixel). Also called
"True Color" and "RGB color," a total of
16,777,216 colors can be represented in
the colorpalette.

WHAT IS 32 BIT COLOUR
24 bit usually means 24 bits total per pixel,
with 8 bits per channel for red, green and blue,
or 16,777,216 total colors. This is sometimes
referred to as 24 bit RGB. 32 bit also usually
means 32 bits total per pixel, and 8 bits per
channel, with an additional 8 bit alpha channel
that's used for transparency.

EVOLUTION OF COLOUR DEPTH

• 1-bit (21 or 2 colors) - Monochrome displays.
• 2-bit (22 or 4 colors) - CGA displays.
• 4-bit (24 or 16 colors) - EGA displays.
• 8-bit (28 or 256 colors) - VGA displays.
• 16-bit (216 or 65,536 colors) - XGA displays.
• 24-bit (224 or 16,777,216 colors) - SVGA displays.
  
• 32-bit (16,777,216 colors Alpha channel (232 or
  4,294,967,296 color combinations))
• 48-bit (248 or 281,474,976,710,656 colors)
